Preise bestimmen mehr als nur den Umsatz – sie prägen die Wahrnehmung einer Marke, beeinflussen die Kundenbindung und entscheiden über langfristigen Erfolg. Doch wie setzt man eine Preisstrategie um, die auf Rabatte und Dynamic Pricing verzichtet? Und wie schafft es eine nachhaltige Marke, trotz hoher Produktionskosten wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben? In dieser Folge spricht Dr. Sebastian Voigt mit Sebastian Feuß, Geschäftsführer von Wildling Shoes, über die Kunst der Preisgestaltung ohne Discounts und aggressive Preisstrategien. Wildling setzt auf Direktvertrieb, Preistransparenz und eine enge Kundenbindung – ein Ansatz, der in einer rabattgetriebenen E-Commerce-Welt nicht selbstverständlich ist. Doch funktioniert das wirklich? Sebastian Feuß erklärt, wie Wildling seine Preisstrategie entwickelt hat und warum das Unternehmen lange nach dem simplen „Kosten mal Faktor“-Prinzip kalkulierte. Was passierte, als Wildling die Preise im Erwachsenensegment anheben musste? Wie beeinflusst eine starke Community die Akzeptanz von Preiserhöhungen? Und warum kann ein Gruppenrabatt eine clevere Alternative zu klassischen Neukundenrabatten sein? Die Folge beleuchtet auch, wie sich Inflation, steigende Rohstoffkosten und Wettbewerbsdruck auf nachhaltige Marken auswirken. Lässt sich mit konsequenter Preistreue gegen die Dynamik des Marktes bestehen? Welche Rolle spielen psychologische Preisgrenzen, Preistests und Marktanalysen? Und was passiert, wenn ein Unternehmen wie Wildling sich gegen die gängigen Mechanismen des Online-Handels stellt? Außerdem geht es um innovative Pricing-Ansätze für die Zukunft: Ist ein Kreislaufmodell mit Reparatur- und Secondhand-Angeboten wirtschaftlich tragfähig? Und wie können nachhaltige Marken langfristig bestehen, ohne sich Rabattschlachten und Preiskriegen anzupassen? Über den Gast: Sebastian Feuß ist seit 2019 Geschäftsführer von Wildling Shoes und verantwortet dort die zentralen Unternehmensbereiche. Zuvor war er Berater bei McKinsey mit Fokus auf Konsumgüter und nachhaltige Geschäftsmodelle sowie Visiting Researcher bei Zalando. Neben seiner Tätigkeit bei Wildling ist er Business Angel und unterstützt nachhaltige Startups mit seiner Expertise in der Skalierung und Restrukturierung von Unternehmen.

What if we saw Artificial Intelligence as a mirror rather than as a form of intelligence?That's the subject of a fabulous new book by Professor Shannon Vallor, who is my guest on this episode.In our discussion, we explore how artificial intelligence reflects not only our technological prowess but also our ethical choices, biases, and the collective values that shape our world.We also discuss how AI systems mirror our societal flaws, raising critical questions about accountability, transparency, and the role of ethics in AI development.  Shannon helps me to examine the risks and opportunities presented by AI, particularly in the context of decision-making, privacy, and the potential for AI to influence societal norms and behaviours.  This episode offers a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between technology and ethics, urging us to consider how we can steer AI development in a direction that aligns with our shared values.  Guest Biography Prof. Shannon Vallor is the Baillie Gifford Chair in the Ethics of Data and Artificial Intelligence at the Edinburgh Futures Institute (EFI) at the University of Edinburgh, where she is also appointed in Philosophy.  She is Director of the Centre for Technomoral Futures in EFI, and co-Director of the BRAID (Bridging Responsible AI Divides) programme, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Professor Vallor's research explores how new technologies, especially AI, robotics, and data science, reshape human moral character, habits, and practices.   Her work includes advising policymakers and industry on the ethical design and use of AI. She is a standing member of the One Hundred Year Study of Artificial Intelligence (AI100) and a member of the Oversight Board of the Ada Lovelace Institute. Professor Vallor received the 2015 World Technology Award in Ethics from the World Technology Network and the 2022 Covey Award from the International Association of Computing and Philosophy.  She is a former Visiting Researcher and AI Ethicist at Google. In addition to her many articles and published educational modules on the ethics of data, robotics, and artificial intelligence, she is the author of the book Technology and the Virtues: A Philosophical Guide to a Future Worth Wanting (Oxford University Press, 2016) and The AI Mirror: Reclaiming Our Humanity in an Age of Machine Thinking (Oxford University Press, 2024).  AI Generated Timestamped Summary of Key Points:00:02:30: Introduction to Professor Shannon Vallor and her work.00:06:15: Discussion on AI as a mirror of societal values.00:10:45: The ethical implications of AI decision-making. 00:18:20: How AI reflects human biases and the importance of transparency.00:25:50: The role of ethics in AI development and deployment.00:33:10: Challenges of integrating AI into human-centred contexts.00:41:30: The potential for AI to shape societal norms and behaviours. 00:50:15: Professor Vallor's insights on the future of AI and ethics.00:58:00: Closing thoughts and reflections on AI's impact on humanity.LinksTo find out more about Shannon and her work visit her website: https://www.shannonvallor.net/  The AI Mirror: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-ai-mirror-9780197759066?A Noema essay by Shannon on the dangers of AI: https://www.noemamag.com/the-danger-of-superhuman-ai-is-not-what-you-think/   A New Yorker feature on the book  https://www.newyorker.com/culture/open-questions/in-the-age-of-ai-what-makes-people-unique   The AI Mirror as one of the FT's technology books of the summer https://www.ft.com/content/77914d8e-9959-4f97-98b0-aba5dffd581c  The FT review of The AI Mirror: https://www.ft.com/content/67d38081-82d3-4979-806a-eba0099f8011     For more on the Edinburgh Futures Institute: https://efi.ed.ac.uk/

In episode 253 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with Dr Ashley Frawley. Ashley is currently Visiting Researcher in the Centre for Parenting Culture Studies at the University of Kent, as well as Visiting Research Fellow at the MCC Brussels in Belgium. She was also previously Associate Professor of Sociology and Social Policy at Swansea University until 2023. She is the author of Semiotics of Happiness: rhetorical beginnings of a public problem published by Bloomsbury in 2015 and the newly released Significant Emotions, published in January 2024. She is also the host of her own podcast, ‘Based AF', a columnist for Compact Magazine and COO of Sublation Media. In this episode we discuss: her route into academia and how a chance email sent to her idol Frank Furedi ended up in working with the man himself and to the she holds at the University of Kent today, her critiques of ‘therapy culture' in the mainstream mental health conversation and her view that there is NOT an epidemic of mental illness in the world right now. We also discuss an article she wrote for Compact Magazine on the overreach of discourse around ‘neurodiversity' and where she sits on the debate currently being had on the impact of smartphones and social media on young people's mental health. For Ashley's mental health (which she disagrees with the term mental health journey itself), we discuss an eating disorder she lived with from the age of 14-21 years old, how viewing it as a health issue was not helping her tackle it initially and how a change in her outlook on the condition, allowed her to get a handle on it and eventually overcome it.

In the latest Z3 podcast episode Rabbi Amitai Fraiman, our host and head of Z3, is joined by Dr. Mijal Bitton, who serves as the Rosh Kehilla (communal leader) of the Downtown Minyan community in Lower Manhattan. Examining the effects of the Oct. 7 massacre on the Jewish communities in Israel and America, they dig into what the role of grief plays in the Jewish response to tragedy and how it can connect us and also empower us to action. They also discuss the ways in which different types of support are needed for different areas of communities: how do we support Israelis who were directly impacted and still suffer accutely? How do we support young people on campuses who are now facing rising levels of antisemitism? All this and more in this episode. More about Dr. Mijal Bitton: Mijal is a Visiting Researcher at NYU Wagner and the Director of the first national study of Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews in the United States. She earned her doctorate from New York University, is an alumna of the Wexner Graduate Fellowship, and was featured in the New York Jewish Week's “36 under 36” in 2018 as a “public intellectual” with ‘public values.” Mijal is a fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America, a Sacks Scholar, a Maimonides Fund fellow, and a New Pluralist Field Builder.

He was lead author on the historic 1995 conclusion of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which proclaimed that “the balance of evidence suggests a discernible human influence on global climate.” That was the first time the IPCC authoritatively stated humans are causing climate change. At the time, Stephen Schneider told Ben Santer that the sentence he wrote would change the world. Santer's foundational work also laid the groundwork for the expanding field of attribution science, which enables activists and lawyers to ascribe proportionate blame to specific polluters in lawsuits demanding damages for climate-disrupting emissions.

In this episode we speak with Christopher Miller about his recent monograph, Embodying Transnational Yoga: Eating, Singing, and Breathing in Transformation (Routledge 2023) and his upcoming online course at Yogic Studies. We begin by discussing his academic background and how he first got into critical Yoga and later Jain Studies, his experiences as a practitioner of yoga in Santa Monica, California, and how he developed his dissertation project that would eventually become the book. We discuss the importance of shifting Modern Yoga Studies beyond the study of postural yoga, exploring his three book chapters which analyze the practices of eating (yogic diet), singing (kīrtan), and breathing (prāṇāyāma). We discuss the origins and history of the harmonium, how yoga intersects with food and pollution studies, and question what it means to practice prāṇāyāma in a heavily polluted Indian city.

Luigi Schiavo"Etica della diversità"Per un mondo altroGabrielli Editoriwww.gabriellieditori.it«La diversità ha il potere di sottrarre al comune, al consolidato, al tradizionale, per aprire al nuovo, favorendo la trasformazione e la creazione di nuovi spazi relazionali. In altre parole, la diversità genera la crisi della normalità. In questo senso, è profondamente rivoluzionaria e innovativa, è potenza di trasformazione.»Pensare il mondo non tanto dall'omogeneità riduttiva e ripetitiva, ma dalla diversità è il proposito di questo libro, per superare modelli e leggi standardizzati, che portano all'uniformità e alla colonizzazione. I concetti di “limite”, di “frontiera” indicano lo spazio dell'opposizione, della chiusura, ma anche dell'apertura e dell'incontro con il diverso, che proietta oltre l'orizzonte ristretto e chiuso, per confrontarsi con la realtà più ampia. Giustapposizione e antinomie, inclusione ed esclusione, contraddizione e creatività sono elementi caratteristici che definiscono il confine, nelle diverse prospettive: simbolica, filosofica, politica, culturale, sociale e religiosa, come uno spazio altamente creativo e interessante.“Etica della diversità” propone quindi un cambio di paradigma e di visione, perché ritiene la diversità una straordinaria potenzialità di cambiamento e di rinnovamento, nella linea della pluralità e della complessità delle relazioni e dei modi di essere e di vivere. La diversità diventa così condizione imprescindibile per la costruzione della giustizia sociale e politica, ma anche della pace tra popoli e nazioni e della convivenza pacifica tra culture e religioni.Luigi Schiavo, biblista, teologo, dottore in Scienze della Religione, specializzato in Letteratura Biblica (Nuovo Testamento), laureato in teologia e filosofia, Visiting Researcher all'Università di Oxford, ha vissuto più di 30 anni in America Latina (Brasile e Costa Rica), accompagnando le comunità cristiane.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 581 Is biomarker blood testing the future of real healthcare? Michael Dubrovsky, co-founder of SiPhox, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom podcast, episode 581, to reveal how at-home biomarker blood testing is revolutionizing people's health journey, why the healthcare system should adopt a preventative approach, and how you can combine blood testing with wearables for best results. "We went after at-home blood testing to put a device in every home in America and make it possible for people to have easy access to this rather than making blood testing reactive, where "I have terrible symptoms, now I'm going to get a bunch of blood work." SiPhox is making it proactive so that people are getting much more blood tests and that's the cornerstone of the whole medical journey." - Michael Dubrovsky 10% Off SiPhox The SiPhox Health at-home test kit measures 17 blood biomarkers of inflammation, hormonal health, metabolic fitness, and cardiovascular health. 10% off with code "JOSH" Track how your body responds to your lifestyle, diet, and supplements to reach your health goals faster.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Biomarker Blood Testing "The way we view biomarker blood testing is like this panel is the base panel, you should be getting it frequently. We have add ons that allow you to look deeper at certain things. And that's how most engineers will debug a system, right? You do something broad and simple and you kind of see what's going on here and these are all biomarkers that are really well studied, very commonly if something's out of the range, and then we go deeper down a particular rabbit hole." - Michael Dubrovsky Life Expectancy in the U.S. "Life expectancy is not increasing while cost is increasing in the standard medical system and that is not true in Europe. If you look at all the European countries, everybody's life expectancy is increasing and the cost is not increasing that much. America is just obviously broken. We don't have a very strong opinion of how to fix it beside you need more data and you need more control over the situation." - Michael Dubrovsky The Evolution of the Medical System "Medicine is getting better but it's too expensive for most people to get that kind of scrutiny. Having more data makes it easier. If you give a doctor lots of data, such as 5 years of blood tests, the chances that they're going to give you an answer quickly is very high." - Michael Dubrovsky Limited Edition: Gold Pumpkin Spice from Organifi Save 20% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" on everyone's favorite Fall treat is here!

A decade ago, the so-called "Pink Tide" of leftist governments in Latin America seemed to be heading towards a tragic end. However, events in the past few years have raised questions about whether a new Pink Tide has emerged. The defeat of the coup government in Bolivia, the election of Xiomara Castro in Honduras, the rise of Andrés Manuel López Obrador in Mexico, the historic election of Gustavo Petro in Colombia, and now the return of Lula in Brazil suggests a new age may be dawning in the region. Yet for all the successes, there have also been setbacks—the coup against Pedro Castillo in Peru last fall, and the failure of the Gabriel Boric government to pass a new constitution stand out as the sharpest examples. In the first of a four-part series of special collaboration episodes between NACLA and The Marc Steiner Show, we turn to a panel of regional experts to discuss the context and prospects of the 'New Pink Tide' to steer the region towards a more prosperous and just future.

James Bellerjeau was General Counsel of an S&P 500 company for 20 years, and then Head of its Global Sustainability Program. He served as President of the Association of Corporate Counsel Europe and writes the Career Path column for the ACC Docket, the magazine for in-house lawyers. He is a Visiting Researcher at Georgetown University and teaches at the University of Zurich. He serves as an executive coach for newly promoted General Counsels and other senior executives. James is currently focused on applying principles of Stoic philosophy to live a good life and achieve satisfaction. Check out some of his thoughts on his blog at www.klugne.com, where he writes about happiness, thinking and decision-making, and moving back to the U.S. after 25 years abroad. He's also recently published a modern version of Seneca's Moral Letters to Lucilius. What happens when you get an ESG skeptic to run a global, public company Sustainability Program? Interesting things. For one, a strategic focus on creating real impact. For another, battles with stakeholders who each think THEIR issue should be in your strategic focus. Ultimately, you get the No BS Approach to ESG. James served for 20 years as the General Counsel of an S&P 500 company, a U.S. global multinational headquartered in Switzerland. During that time, he worked on the company's public sustainability reporting. How well did his GC role prepare him for then running the Sustainability Program for the coming 2 1/2 years? We'll discuss how (and why) James made the switch from the GC role to Head of Sustainability. What surprised him about the role. And why he thinks the ESG movement is headed for hard times.

China first tested a nuclear weapon in 1964. And since then, Chinese authorites have been content with a relatively small nuclear arsenal. That was, until very recently. There is now mounting evidence that China is substantially expanding its nuclear capabilities.  In this episode, we speak with Tong Zhou, Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a Visiting Researcher at Princeton University's Program on Science and Global Security, to explain what is driving Chinese nuclear strategy. We kick off with a brief history of China's nuclear weapons program before having an in depth discussion about the intentions and motivations behind China's expanding nuclear arsenal. We also discuss what steps China's main rival, the United States, could take to assuage at least some of the concerns driving Chinese nuclear strategy.

Episode SummaryWhat happens when a tech-savvy entrepreneurial young man from Africa comes to America for school? It's his first time in the US and what does he learn? As he describes on this episode of The Sydcast, George Boateng learns that he is black. That simple, and powerful, observation will strike many listeners as profound, yet George understands that his identity is what he makes it to be. As we will hear, that includes an EdTech start-up that is teaching young people in Africa to code, an effort to mentor young Africans to develop solutions to the real problems they are confronting, and his own work on his Ph.D. in Switzerland.Sydney Finkelstein Syd Finkelstein is the Steven Roth Professor of Management at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. He holds a Master's degree from the London School of Economics and a Ph.D. from Columbia University. Professor Finkelstein has published 25 books and 90 articles, including the bestsellers Why Smart Executives Fail and Superbosses: How Exceptional Leaders Master the Flow of Talent, which LinkedIn Chairman Reid Hoffman calls the “leadership guide for the Networked Age.” He is also a Fellow of the Academy of Management, a consultant and speaker to leading companies around the world, and a top 25 on the Global Thinkers 50 list of top management gurus. Professor Finkelstein's research and consulting work often relies on in-depth and personal interviews with hundreds of people, an experience that led him to create and host his own podcast, The Sydcast, to uncover and share the stories of all sorts of fascinating people in business, sports, entertainment, politics, academia, and everyday life.George Boateng George Boateng is a Computer Scientist, Engineer, Educator, and Social Entrepreneur who has been recognized as a Pioneer in the 2021 MIT Technology Review's 35 Innovators Under 35. He is currently a PhD Candidate and Doctoral Researcher at ETH Zurich, Switzerland focusing on Applied Machine Learning, and a Visiting Researcher at the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Cambridge, U.K. George is also the CEO and co-founder of SuaCode.ai, an EdTech AI start-up that is enabling young Africans to learn to code using smartphones and AI. He is also the President and co-founder of Nsesa Foundation, an education nonprofit that is training and mentoring young Africans to be innovators.

Charlie breaks down why the war in Ukraine is hardly what it appears to be on the MSM. While Biden continues to telegraph his moves abroad, it has given Putin the benefit of being the unpredictable foreign actor keeping the entirety of the West guessing what his next move will be. Meanwhile, actual Neo-Nazi paramilitary groups are fighting on the ground in Ukraine, and you won't believe who is funding them. Then, Charlie welcomes Clint Ehrlich, Russian Policy Analyst and Fmr. Visiting Researcher at MGIMO University, to discuss the realities of Russian's invasion into Ukraine. Will Russia be deterred from its objectives and sue for peace? Will Russia give up? Is Putin facing obstacles back home as the West's financial sanctions against Russian begin to impact the Russian economy in serious and long lasting ways? Charlie and Clint help answer perhaps the most important question of all: Who and What is really standing in the way of peace between Russia and Ukraine? The answer will probably surprise you.  Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/support See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
